LG wm1832cw Washer IE error




By ducmis on Sep 11, 2007

" "
I keep getting IE error around the rinse part. It keeps giving me the error and I keep repeating it and it won't ever finish. I looked at the manual and it tells me that water is insufficient and check the inlet and water hose but nothing his wrong. I looked at a couple of forums and it says it may be the water fill valve but I am unsure. The water (both hot and cold) runs fine when it begins. However, I notice that the water drizzles in the main wash when the rinse start, but the water flows real well in the softener and prewash. Is this common. if it is, then why am i having this problem over and over... ???can someone please help.

- Can you please tell me where is the outlet filter? Is it the filter in the front of the washer at the left bottom hand? if this is the one you are talking about then I already cleaned it. I will open rear cover and see if the thin tube is blocked or not.

- Oh, one more thing, the water drains fine. The error occurs when after the water drains from the first main wash, the IE normally comes on when it is refilling the tub to rinse.

- Thanks, i will try this on the weekend. Sounds complicated but better than giving my hard money away without giving it a chance. Again, thanks for everything.

- it turns out the that the water inlet supply valve was broken. The cold water is drizzling in and it should be flowing. the water inlet is broken. Just ordered the part. ..

Plug off the wall, etc. Remove the rear cover. There is a thin tube coming from the control panel area to the base where the water exits, this should not be blocked, remove from top and blow to check, refit. Next clean out your outlet filter, it could be clogged, refit.

When u hav rinse problems, it is usually the outlet filter.

- Here is what i got from the net for you:

Pull the cover off the back.
Remove the stator with the big nut in the middle. Use a screwdriver to stop the entire tub from spinning while removing the bolt.
You hv to remove a screw or two and unclip some wires.
Pull the stator out, and remove/replace the sensor.
Apparently LG is seeing a bunch of these, but the motor is solid, just a cheap sensor.

Another:
Im not sure of what sensor they're talking about but the stator is in the back of the washer. There is an access cover with 4 screws that secure it. Remove the cover and the motor is right there in back of the drum. LG uses a direct drive motor. So you will need to take the rotor off to get the the stator. First thing I would do is to make sure the connector to the stator is secure. I would disconect it and reconnect.Then try to do a load of laundry. In my experience with LG that code seems to pop up a lot. Most people unplug the washer for a few minutes and then start the load again and they have no problem. But yes the code is to do with the stator.

Complicated ducmis?, but the fault is with the great LG. All the best -premm

Could you have changed the supply lines??? The new braided lines for the supplies are directional. What I mean is you can only install them in one direction, with the tag to the water shut off. They have a built in back flow preventer built into the hose. If one or both are backwards the IE light will come on. Hope this helps.

I had the same error. It was the filter and it was FILTHY!!! I removed the top panel where the water hose enters, used plyers to remove the filter, rinsed the filter and the machine is rinsing away!

Thanks so much for the money and time saving tips!!!
